Anything on the neo pixel rings? Thanks
I have been waiting for this one for a LONG time "or someone to do a script for them"
Im wondering if it has tobe the Mini 8x8 LED Matrix w/I2C Backpack - Red "or one of the other colors"
Or if it will also work with these ones as well 8x8 Red LED Matrix with out the I2C Backpack
I have an idea in mind to replace the LEDS with transistor switches
One update to the New control that would be cool is to have it show the lights in the control while its running at the same time as it showing on the matrix itself
I don't have any yet and it would be good to see and test with out having one or even if you do having to look away to see it
Right now I can play with it but I cant see it do any thing at all when I run it
so I cant really see if it works at all
lol
@Wolfie... if the control for the 8x8 LED Matrix is I2C, then how would the version of the 8x8 LED matrix work without it's I2C backpack?
I have no idea like I said in another post I know NOTHING about i2c at all a year ago I never even herd of it and I know that if im wondering others are to
@Wolfie, if the I2C commands are the same for that matrix then the new control will work. If not then it wont. If it's without backpack it wont work, it needs the backpack, that's what controls the LEDs, think of the backpack as a slave to the EZ-B.
As for visual display in ARC to show realtime feedback on the matrix, my guess (and be aware it's a guess so may be wrong) is it would use a lot of system resources which is the opposite direction to how ARC has gone since it's simplification of icons etc.
@Wolfie... Really, where have you been hiding? Without the I2C interface you'll have to drive each LED individually with a different port... So you will need 64 ports for 64 leds....
@RichardR, not necessarily, you can multiplex/Charlieplex LEDs (which is what this does). This greatly brings down the number of digital ports required however does need very fast switching of signals from high to low.
